When everyone regained their senses, they cried out in surprise.

“Red lotus cultivator?”

Everyone was wary of and hostile toward the people of the red lotus domain with Jiang Wenxu serving as an example. After Jiang Wenxu’s matter spread in Great Yan, most cultivators in Great Yan had a bad impression of the red lotus domain. Since the dawn of time, discrimination and prejudice had always existed, and they were impossible to be eliminated.

The red energy in the air was like knives, continuously cutting down the flying beasts in the air. Those that escaped did not turn back.

With the Nine String Zither, Conch’s skill was on full display.

The cultivators were inwardly amazed by it. Even if they were displeased, they did not dare to voice their thoughts out.

Soon after, Conch placed one hand on the Nine String Zither, and the music stopped abruptly. When she descended from the sky, the Nine String Zither shrank and regained its original exquisite and unique appearance. Then, she hung it by her waist again.

“Master, it’s done,” Conch said, “It wasn’t challenging at all…”

It was fine that the matter was resolved. The first part of Conch’s sentence was fine, but the second part of her sentence dealt a critical blow to everyone, piercing their hearts. They had risked their lives to stop the beast tide, but in front of this young woman, the beast tide was not challenging at all. However, who could they complain to?

“Okay.” Lu Zhou nodded.

Conch turned around and looked in the distance. “Senior sister has yet to return…”

“Wait a little longer…” Lu Zhou said.

At this time, Hua Chongyang and Bai Yuqing hurriedly landed in front of Lu Zhou and bowed to him.

“Thank you for your help, senior!”

Everyone followed suit and bowed.

The leader of the cultivators who had just arrived did not dare to be negligent and rushed over as well. He said ingratiatingly, “When did Great Yan have such an expert? It’s really Great Yan and its people’s good fortune to have such an expert…”

‘This kind of flattery…’

Lu Zhou looked at Hua Chongyang and asked, “Hua Chongyang, why do you only have nine leaves?”

‘Only nine leaves…’ These words were rather piercing to the hearts and ears.

Hua Chongyang said. “I feel ashamed. I’m not very talented to begin with. It’s all thanks to my brothers that I was able to sprout the ninth leaf.”

“Bai Yuqing, what about you?”

“I… I…” Bai Yuqing stammered.

Hua Chongyang came to the rescue and explained, “This brother of mine followed the Sect Master to fight in Liangzhou in the past. At that time, he damaged his Dantian’s sea of Qi. It’s not easy for him to recover his seven leaves…”

Lu Zhou nodded and asked, “Where are Yang Yan and Di Qing?”

Hua Chongyang listened to Lu Zhou speak as though he was one of their own. Nevertheless, he did not say anything and replied, “They’re in the supreme capital.”

Finally, Lu Zhou turned to look at the leader of the newcomers. “And who are you?”

The leader felt chills run up his spine immediately. “Senior, we’re only here to kill the Birth Chart Beast…”

Lu Zhou turned to look at the Luan’s carcass on the ground before he raised his hand.

Swoosh!

The Luan’s life heart flew out of its carcass toward the leader.

The leader jumped in fright before he said, “Senior, I don’t dare, I don’t dare. Since Senior killed you, then its life heart naturally belongs to Senior…”

“You’re quite tactful…” Lu Zhou said before he tossed the life heart to Hua Chongyang. “Take it.”

“Huh?” Hua Chongyang was dumbfounded. This was a Birth Chart Beast’s life heart, but it was so casually given away!

The others were envious, jealous, and resentful when they saw this.

Wuuuu!

At this moment, Cheng Huang’s cry rang in the direction of Liangzhou.

Most of the people present had seen Cheng Huang before so it did not take long for them to recognize it.

“Senior sister is back!” Conch said excitedly. Her manner resembled Little Yuan’er a little at this moment. It was true that one would be influenced by those whom one was close to.

Cheng Huang leaped and flew up into the sky.

“Ding! Worshipped by 150 people. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”

“Miss Sixth from the Evil Sky Pavilion!”

Boom!

The huge Cheng Huang leaped across the Heavenly Moat and landed near it before it sat down.

Ye Tianxin stood on Cheng Huang’s back. Her white robes fluttered in the wind as she said, “Master, I’ve dealt with all the fierce beasts…”

Lu Zhou nodded. He did not pay attention to the crowd and said to Conch, “Let’s go.”

The duo flew onto Cheng Huang’s back.

Cheng Huang understood Lu Zhou’s intention. It only glanced at its surroundings briefly before it leaped up again.

Hua Chongyang, Bai Yuqing, and the other cultivators. “…”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

After Chenghuang completely vanished from sight, someone rubbed their eyes and asked, “Is that really Old Demon Ji?”

Smack!

The leader of the new group of cultivators turned around and slapped the mouth of the person who had spoken. “How can you talk like that?”

“Uh… I meant to say Senior Ji…”

The leader gulped before he said to Hua Chongyang, “Brother Hua, please don’t take what happened earlier to heart. I… If Senior Ji didn’t act earlier, I would’ve helped…”

When Hua Chongyang regained his senses, he rationalized that it was normal for Lu Zhou to put on a disguise when going about his business outside. In the past, Lu Zhou was fond of disguises as well when he wandered the supreme capital.

Finally, Hua Chongyang said, “I’m not a narrow-minded person…”

Then, the leader continued to ask, “That’s great, Brother Hua. Look, we can be considered as old acquaintances, right? Do you think you can give me a chance to join the Nether Sect?”

“We’ll see. Let’s clean up the remaining fierce beasts first.”

“Alright! Leave it to me!”

…

After heading southwest and passing an incredibly vast forest, Lu Zhou and the others arrived at the Other Tribes’ territory.

Although it was winder, it was not too cold. In fact, many trees retained their summer appearances. Only a few that could not withstand the season turned yellow.

Primal Qi lingered above the forest, giving the forest a sense of mystery.

In the past, it took ten to fourteen days for Yu Shangrong to arrive at the Land of Buried Bones. However, with Cheng Huang’s swift speed, it only took less than half a day before Lu Zhou and the others arrived.

“Master, we’re in Lou Lan,” Ye Tianxin said as she pointed at the ancient city of Lou Lan up ahead.

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “Head southwest.”

“Understood.”

Cheng Huang obeyed and flew southwest.

Meanwhile, Conch looked around curiously. After a moment, she said, “Master, Cheng Huang’s speed can actually be faster.”

“Faster?”

“Well, it did intentionally shrink its body after all…”

Wuuu!

As though it understood, Cheng Huang raised its head and cried out. It stood on two legs, parting the clouds, and raised its two front hooves.

At this time, Lu Zhou and Ye Tianxin discovered Cheng Huang’s body was swiftly expanding!

Ye Tianxin recalled the time when Cheng Huang had first come to Great Yan. It was true that he had shrunk, but could he recover?

Soon after, Cheng Chuang became a 1,000-foot-tall beast king. It was so long that its body seemed capable of wrapping around a football field.

Boom!

Cheng Huang leaped up again and flew southwest.

…

Half a day later.

At the entrance of the Misty Forest.

There were many Other Tribesmen at the entrance of the forest. There were also cultivators from Great Yan. Regardless of their origins, they were here to try their luck at the periphery of the Misty Forest.

Some Other Tribesmen flew back and forth at the entrance of the forest with their wolf king avatars, tiger avatars, leopard avatars, and other kinds of avatars.

At this moment, someone cried out, “What’s that?”

“Run! It’s Cheng Huang, the protector of Great Yan!”

The Other Tribesmen fled in a hurry.

Boom!

Chenghuang landed and stopped in front of the Misty Forest’s entrance.

Ye Tianxin patted Chenghuang’s head and said, “Let’s go in.”

Cheng Huang nodded and leaped forward again, entering the Misty Forest. Following that, its speed turned exaggerated as it charged into the depths of the forest.
